Gatorators Tickets

Born from a storied lineage of New Orleans rock and the Radiators, the Gatorators deliver high-energy jam/funk rock with deep roots in the Grateful Dead and Dead-related scenes. Formed in 2012 by Dave Malone, Camile Baudoin, Reggie Scanlan, Mitch Stein, and Eric Bolivar, the group quickly established a reputation for electrifying live performances that fuse tight musicianship with improvisational exploration. Mitch Stein, a core member also known for Cryptical and Mars Hotel projects, anchors the ensemble alongside a tight-knit group of players.

Gatorators rose to prominence with a notable debut at Jazzfest 2012 in New Orleans and a sold-out pair of Sweetwater Music Hall shows in Mill Valley, where Bob Weir joined the band on stage for an unforgettable collaboration. Their sound reflects a modern take on classic Southern funk, infused with the energy of jamband culture and the enduring influence of the Grateful Dead ecosystem. While public promotion often comes through associated acts and festival listings, fans know to expect a show that blends groove-rich anthems with exploratory improvisation.

For fans and first-timers alike, Gatorators offer a bridge between New Orleans musical heritage and the broader jamband scene, making each performance a celebration of live artistry and communal spirit. Secure your seats for their upcoming engagements and experience a night that honors timeless grooves and new explorations.
